• All-in-one, always-on PC care service from Microsoft
  
• Protection from viruses, spyware, hackers, phishing, and more

Windows Live OneCare helps protect your computer, and its automated optimization features keep your PC running at its speediest. OneCare even regularly backs up your important files. Windows Live OneCare constantly thinks about your computer's safety and maintenance--so you don't have to. OneCare communicates the status of your PC's health in the notification area of your Windows taskbar: A green icon means your status is Good. Protection Plus features like antivirus, anti-phishing, and firewall are up to date and turned on, and your computer is not due for a tune-up or a backup. Windows Live OneCare is running in the background, monitoring your system to prevent threats like viruses or spyware. A yellow icon means your status is Fair. Usually this means you have an action to take, such as scheduling or running a tune-up or backup, turning on the Microsoft Phishing Filter, or downloading a non-critical update. A yellow icon means there is no immediate threat to your system, but you should take care of the action as soon as you can to return your system to green. A red icon means that your computer is At Risk. This can happen if, for example, Windows Live OneCare is unable to update Protection Plus with the latest virus definitions because of a lost Internet connection, or if the Windows Live OneCare Firewall is turned off.
You get all this in one convenient package: Protection Plus, with its antivirus and antispyware scanners and managed, two-way firewall, helps protect your computer from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, hackers, phishing, and other threats. It runs continuously in the background, but you can scan individual files and folders for viruses on demand simply by right-clicking them. You can even scan attachments you receive via Windows Live Messenger or MSN Messenger. Performance Plus regularly defragments your hard disk, removes any unnecessary files that can clog your PC, and helps make sure importa

Groooovy Magic

Holy cow. I've used other filters to clean music, and for this price, I expected a "decent" job. SoundSoap 2 delivered awesome results with the most simple operation--the Learn Noise button. I'm a multi-track artist and had transferred old "open-reel" recordings to minidisc and then CD, in order to archive them. I was not happy with the hiss from older recordings when converting to MP3s. SoundSoap brought these recordings back to life-virtually eliminating the hiss and noise! It even made them "sparkle." And the less I messed with the settings, the better it came out. Downside is that it can't directly save MP3s, but no biggie--use Audacity (free on the Web) or iTunes to then convert your files. Nice job, Bias!

Product Description

• Sports a large, easy to read backlit LCD screen to make setting its digital tuner easy and intuitive
  
• Sleek, attractive housing fits seamlessly on top of your iPod
  
• Battery-free design receives power from iPod itself
  
• Tunes to any FM frequency for the best possible performance
  
• Compatible with iPod Photo, iPod U2 Special Edition, 4th Generation iPod with Click Wheel, and 3rd Generation iPod with touch wheel and buttons
  

The iTrip visually and functionally complements the iPod. The new iTrip builds upon this foundation, with several enhancements, superior performance and innovative features never seen before on FM transmitters keeping true to Griffin's essential philosophy of balance of design and ease of use. The iTrip has a large, easy to read backlit LCD screen to make setting its digital tuner easy to read. A handy knob on the side of the iTrip makes it even easier to select broadcast frequency. Turn to the frequency and click the knob to set it. The iTrip remembers its settings.
One of iTrip's innovative features is the selectable LX or DX modes of broadcasting. This feature allows the user to adjust for the absolute best possible audio under almost any condition. The iTrip's DX Mode delivers a noise level that's below that of a cassette tape adapter, allowing the music to punch through cleanly even in the toughest situations, such as large cities with lots of radio stations crowding the dial.
Another new feature is the ability to set the iTrip to either US or International tuning modes. International mode allows access to all available frequencies throughout the world. US mode limits tuning to those frequencies relevant to US stations. The result: no unnecessary scrolling through channels.
The new iTrip also features volume enhancements with an auto volume control that works with the iPod's volume level to automatically avoid distortion. If the iPod's volume is set too high, iTrip recognizes and corrects it by lowering the volume to its optimum level, assuring clean, clear, dynamic sound. High stability crystal oscillator, phase-lock loop control Frequency response - 50Hz to 15KHz Operating range - 10-30 feet Dimenions - 2.45 x 1.43 x 0.9 inch (62.5mm x 36.5mm x 22mm) Weight - 0.6 ounces

Product Description

Whether you connect to the Internet by using a modem or network card, McAfee Firewall offers a safe and secure personal firewall for your personal computer. Designed to let you monitor all incoming and outgoing network traffic with minimal fuss, this unobtrusive and simple-to-use utility can guarantee the safety of your system, especially now that more users are connecting to the Internet around the clock with DSL and cable modems.

McAfee Firewall sits between your system and the Internet. After installation, you can answer a wizard-guided "interview" that configures your firewall's behavior, along with the programs that will be permitted to work on the Web. Better yet, as individual applications attempt to access the network, the McAfee Firewall will prompt you without interrupting your normal work. After an ordinary session of computer use, this utility had discovered our browser, mail client, and FTP utility, and we weren't bothered with any more warning messages.

Behind the scenes, McAfee Firewall logs every attempt at network access, saving the last 100 messages. By using its console-like utility, you can view network activity for every program that's running currently. This application gives you fine-grained control of protocols besides basic TCP/IP, with such acronyms as ARP, DCHP, ICMP, NetBIOS, RIP, and PPTP. Although you might not have heard of them, several of these protocols can be used in denial-of-service and other kinds of attacks.

A handy online help page documents the well-known types of security threats. (Chances are that you'll be surprised at the variety of ways there are to disrupt your system.) Don't worry, however; by checking the "Log Unknown Traffic" option in McAfee Firewall and regularly reviewing your log, you can detect any suspicious activity. In all, this low-cost utility can deliver peace of mind and solid security in an application that doesn't get in the way of your everyday Web browsing. --Rich Dragan

Buyer beware!

My wife bought this program because she wanted to protect our computer from Hacker attacks since we added a cable modem, which, along with its high-speed access, has an "always on" two-way link to the Internet that makes our computer vulnerable to such attacks. And on that front, it appears to have done its job. At least, we don't seem to have had any hacker attacks. But that's where the benefits end and the nightmares begin. You see, my wife also wanted to access her office Outlook e-mail from home, and it would not work on our computer. Her Techie at work told her it was probably the Firewall, and said she should turn it off. Turning off all filtering did not do the trick, so we tried to uninstall the application. No dice. The incorrectly named "Help" file said there should be a file labeled "uninstall CPD" in the program folder. No such file could be found. Their online support said their should be an uninstall Firewall option under the start menu, but it was not there. On top of that, the Help file warned that we should not use Windows' Remove Programs feature to uninstall because it could damage our system! Ultimately what we have then is a program that was designed to protect our system that has instead gummed up the works, and prevented our computer from doing something very basic and important, like reading office email at home! What's worse, because there is no uninstall function, and remove programs doesn't work (I ultimately tried it, fingers crossed), I feel like my computer has been taken hostage by McAfee! On top of all that, their customer service is a joke. In addition to the laughable help file, their web page is extremely confusing (just try and find the answer to my uninstall program problem, or even how to email Tech support!) AND you have to pay a fee for phone support, EVEN THOUGH IT'S THEIR OWN PRODUCT's FAULT!!

As you can see, I am frustrated. The irony in all of this is that McAfee sells another program called McAfee Uninstaller. I laughed a gloomy laugh when I saw that on their web site. Could it be that this program is designed to FORCE you to buy their other program to get rid of it?

Who knows, maybe tech support will finally get back to me with a solution, or maybe I will have reinstalled Windows by then, I don't know.

Bottom line: AVOID THIS PRODUCT.
